Bryan: I had a long discussion with Red Hat legal eagles last week, and this is currently moving forward. It has to be drafted into lawyerspeak, but there were a couple of open questions at this point.

ivancat asks: A question about customization: in f9 new gdm was introduced, that was meant to be a rewritten one. The common opinion that it is good but nevertheless lacks flexibility and is really hard to customize. So, it it going to be the same about gdm in f10?

warren continues: specifically, I want a "powered by Fedora" and a small fedora logo on the login screen of LTSP thin clients. Normal Fedora users wont see this. We asked on fedora-marketing-list how people feel about this and most were enthusiastically positive about it.

jk_meeting:I think it would be hard to answer that as a general question; GDM has many contributors, and I'm sure the F10 GDM will be improved from the F9 GDM in meeting the needs of users,, but will it help the specific concerns? Hard for us to say in general.

jk_meeting: If the questoin is, "are we planning to revert to the old GDM version from F8", then the answer is "No. We think that the new GDM is better for the vast majority of users. It also has many design improvements allowing us to continue enhancing it in the future"

nirik asks: There was some discussion on the devel list recently from folks who are on the main 'fedora' support list about it becoming useless. Is the board making any efforts to help that list? if so, what?

there's a difference between a few o/t postings and threads that are hundreds of messages long between just a handful of people, and I think the latter case is the concern; but short of having moderators (which seems an unpopular idea) there's not a lot that can be done besides gently poking people

nirik, if the support group wants to make a more affirmative and concrete definition as to what fedora-list is meant to be... that's probably worth an effort. But where do we put the topics that use to be tolerated on fedora-list?

stickster, as it was pointed out to me... its somewhat hypocritcal to vote to remove the registreation bit on the channel..if we arent going to be helping with the ops manpower needs associated with that decision

ivancat asks: It seems to me Fedora is basically a feed for an enterprise class OS. Lately though I get the impression there is a lot of effort to catch Ubuntu in the eye-candy category. Does the board concern itself with that sort of balance?
